You may be a little confused, the nice friendly welcoming thread is on the All Saints board.

I'm not that much happier with Shipmates who think they know exactly what Hell should be like, to be honest.

I did introduce myself in All Saints, now why don't you just tell me what I'm doing wrong! Sure, I get that Hell isn't a nice place to be, but you are not making much sense...

He would probably argue that he's being charitable by warning people of the danger they're in of going to hell if they don't repent. That's the usual line taken by self-righteous bigots like him.
Anyway, if you think he's bad, don't forget Fred Phelps and Westboro Baptist Church - the yanks always manage to go one better than us.

I was just about to post something similar, Marv.
And as for the strident n00b--I'm sorry, somebody sitting there hovering at "49" reminds me of the kid playing tag on the playground who yells "Time out!" the minute anyone gets near him. Eat him, Marv.

I cannot expect people to believe “
Jesus loves me, this I know” of they don’t believe “Kelly loves me, this I know.”

Maybe you should both join Christian Voice - there would be three of you then!

Not a bad idea, actually. Because then Kelly and I would hold 67% of the voting power and would be able to kick Green out and reform CV in our own image.
Whether the media would still be interested in the pronouncements of "Martian BunnyAxe Voice" is another matter, of course...

OK, next to my dream gig of hosting a morning show with Duchess, that is the best scenario I have seen on the Ship yet.

It is much easier to make a programme when you know the response you are going to get.
Someone with a more nuanced theology might say something the programme makers were not expecting. That would never do.
Stephen Green is nothing if not predictable.
(That last sentence works with only the first four letters.)

BBC Sunday breakfast shows tend to be pro-Christian. What the BBC does is tailor content to the audience, so what the BBC thinks differs according to time of day and station broadcast on.

Not only that but Radio 4 and Radio 2 have their Thought for the Day/Pause for Thought every morning which are often (though not always) Christian in content. Radio 3 often broadcasts Choral Evensong and services for major festivals are often broadcast too. For instance, this evening (May 17th) Radio 4 will be broadcasting a live Eucharist for Ascension Day from St Martin in the Fields.

That's a bit like saying "When do Anglican clergypersons preach politics? I thought it was all about the Gospel!"

OOPS - what i meant to say was....
The BBC is like Douglas Adam's Electric Monk. Not only able to watch all known beliefs but believe in them all simultaneously as well.

I once heard Stephen Green speak at the Oxford Union. When he said that it is 'physically impossible for two men to have sex', a friend of mine stood up and said 'Have you tried? I have and I can assure you it's entirely possible.'
